"In other words, as Paul Krugman points out, the main fear of the right wing ideologues is not that universal health care will fail, but that it will succeed."

Exactly. Repukes really aren't sincere about their alleged fears that single-payer health care will be poor in quality, etc. They know deep down it will be more than adequate. Their real fear is the dreaded WELFARE STATE. The effectiveness of single-payer health care is much less important to them than the precedent it sets. Visions of people being taken care of by the eeeeeeevil government and other "socialist" horrors fill their heads.

If single-payer is adopted, what's next? A guaranteed minimum income? In my dreams, and their nightmares.
